Previous International Dictyostelium Meetings:
International conferences dedicated to Dictyostelium started in 1977 with the meeting in Sardinia, and continued on a roughly 3-year cycle into the 1980's. However, as the field became more active, more local meetings sprang up to fill the gaps in the cycle. Notable amongst these was an annual series in the UK, which gradually became more international. By the late 1980's with the successive meetings at Amsterdam, Oxford, Airlie and Cambridge, the current pattern of annual meetings was established. Interestingly in the late 1990's as the field expanded further, local meetings were re-started in several countries.
